Vectra^® 3D for Dogs protects through a triple-action formula of dinotefuran, pyriproxifen and permethrin. These ingredients work together to kill fleas and ticks through contact and repel these dangerous pests.

Once they land on your dog, the pests come into contact with the treated skin and hairs. The more they move on the dog to find a location to bite, the more they are exposed to the active ingredients of Vectra^® 3D for Dogs and the sooner they are affected.

In ticks, Vectra^® 3D for Dogs causes first a “hot foot” reaction. The sensors in the legs of these parasites are very sensitive to permethrin and make the parasite run off the dog (hot foot effect). They are physically compelled to crawl back up the fur, away from the skin, without biting.

In fleas, Vectra^® 3D for Dogs quickly disrupts the feeding behavior. Fleas begin to stop feeding within 5 minutes on Vectra^® 3D treated dogs. Fleas are quickly knocked down and start falling off the animal without possible recovery.
